About

What is Heritage, Culture & Creative Industries Day @ UKREiiF?

Taking place on Wednesday 19 May 2027 as part of UKREiiF in Leeds, Heritage, Culture & Creative Industries Day brings together the people, projects and partnerships shaping heritage-led regeneration across the UK. From historic sites and museums to theatres and creative institutions, the day connects the organisations and decision-makers turning cultural assets into investable places,

Culture and heritage are no longer treated as add-ons to regeneration – they’re core drivers of investment, footfall and long-term value, and this day is where that thinking meets real projects and real capital. Set within UKREiiF’s wider forum of over 16,000 delegates and £300bn+ in opportunities, Heritage, Culture & Creative Industries Day gives developers, investors, local authorities and cultural organisations a focused space to build the partnerships behind the UK’s next generation of heritage-led places.
